Peppered Corys in 125 Gallons

[Ken Sauer]

I currently have 2 peppered corys in a 125 gallon tank. I plan to add 4 more. Is that enough for 125 gallons?

 

[CassCats]

In 125 GALLONS you could have dozens lol
Do you mean litres?
Get at least 6 but if its gallons you have almost no limits.

 

[HoldenOn]

If it is 125 gallons, like NC said, the possibilities are limitless lol. You could probably get like 30+.

 

[Ken Sauer]

Yeah, it's a beautiful huge 125 Gallon tank. I'm just wondering if 6 total is enough to keep them happy in 125 Gallons.

6 is a good start, you could add more but that is up to you. Most shoaling fish need at least 6 but the more the merrier. I have tetras and try to have at least10 in each shoal. I would be interested in seeing pictures of your tank 55 gallons is my largest. I wish I could convince my wife to let me have a larger one but I do have 4 tanks already.

Here it is. As you can see, so far it just has 2 baby peppered corydoras in it now.

What kind of tetras do you have?

I have ember, neon and glow light shoals and one red eyed tetra which was a fry that showed up in my tank weeks after I gave that shoal away. Started with 5 red eye which had 14 fry that made it to adult. Here is a picture of my 55 gallon tetra tank. I use RO water to soften my hard water for them.

Wow. I'd probably have more like 50 in there!

I agree.

 

[CassCats]

You can happily have even close to 60 in there
(I've got 33 in my 55g)

I'm planning to add maybe, 16-20 Zebra Danios and then move on from there with peaceful small fish

 

[Ken Sauer]

I hear neon tetra aren't very hardy

 

[Metalhead88]

If you like neon, cardinals are the way to go. They look better in my opinion, are slightly larger, and absolutely not as sensitive.

Look into the green neon tetra
